PS: Thank you for the tipping of tiexielongwa, the cold wave has finally passed.

———————————————————————————————————————

Several of the main thoroughfares in Dadu have been reinforced and leveled with cement, and the carriages running on them can hardly feel the bumps, and the streets are wider than those in Suzhou, and Cheng Yue is very pleased.

The people along the way saw Cheng Yue's red golden dragon flag, or saluted or cheered. Zhenjin knew that Cheng Yue hated disturbing the people, so he didn't clear the road along the way, but after the people saw the red gold dragon flag, they took the initiative instead, which made Zhenjin sigh too.

Most of the streets of the capital disappeared again, and they disappeared completely, and none of them could be found. The lamas understood very well that although Cheng Yue, the king of Zhennan, could not stay in Dadu for a few days, it was best not to provoke him.

After Cheng Yue left last time, the lamas in Dadu were no longer arrogant as before. From time to time, a lama was taken from the monastery and more than a hundred were killed, and no one dared to intercede.

There are even more people in prison, and Buhumu has also set up a special prison to hold the lamas who commit crimes, forcing them to work every day, and the lamas are miserable.

The power of Zhongshu Province is not the same as before, the last time Cheng Yue Lin left, he had a separate confession to Bu Humu, asking him to recruit some people to Zhongshu Province, all of them were future ministers - Shentu Zhiyuan, Li Qian, Li Meng, Xu Yan, Yan Fu and others. These people are just emerging now, and Cheng Yue wants to pull them into Zhongshu Province to cultivate.

At the gate of the Zhennan Palace, the three brothers of the Cao family and Donar were outside the door, and Guan Gao, Sun, and Yu led a large number of palace servants to look forward to it in the door.

Zhenjin saw someone greeting him from afar, and smiled at Cheng Yue and said, "I'll send it here, don't delay your reunion with your family, how about picking up the wind for you in my house the day after tomorrow?" ”

Cheng Yue also hugged his fists and said: "A word is a certainty." It's bothered. ”

Zhenjin led the crowd away, and as soon as Cheng Yue arrived at the gate of the palace, the three brothers of the Cao family and Donar hurriedly stepped forward to salute and said, "Welcome the prince back to the palace." ”

Cheng Yue jumped off the horse and smiled at the three brothers of the Cao family: "The three of you have done a good job, I know everything." Let's talk about it when we enter the house. He threw the reins in his hand to Donar and plunged into the house.

As soon as they entered the gate, Guan Gao, Sun and Yu immediately appeared in front of them, and led a large number of palace servants to salute Cheng Yue together: "Welcome the prince back to the house." ”

Cheng Yue smiled and opened his arms, Guan Gao couldn't help but throw himself into Cheng Yue's arms, and Sun and Yu also came to hug him. The third concubine cried and laughed, completely ignoring the many people behind her.

Cheng Yue took out tissues and wiped away their tears while comforting them.

Wan Ze and other wives and concubines and palace maids also entered the mansion later, and everyone was moved to see this scene. Three women support the prince's great career. The pressure can be imagined, and it is really a shame that they can withstand it.

The three concubines came back to their senses and hurriedly stepped forward to meet Wan Ze and Kutoulun.

Wan Ze said softly: "The three of you have made great contributions to the prince, the prince has always been very worried, and the hard work is worth it." ”

The three concubines said in unison: "Yes, the concubine doesn't dare." ”

Guan Gao was taken aback when he saw Mrs. Gu, and saw that her silhouette was quite similar to Rou Niang. Immediately understood her identity, and stepped forward to salute with Sun and Yu.

A group of women was boisterous. The Zhennan Mansion is back to life, and it's better than before.

Cheng Yue entered the palace study, and Mrs. Song, Mrs. Gu, the three concubines, the three brothers of the Cao family and Donar immediately followed.

Mrs. Gu quickly poured a cup of tea for Cheng Yue and sat quietly aside.

Cheng Yue said: "Come, let's talk about everything." ”

Guan Gao took down a thick booklet from the bookshelf and reported the progress of Dadu to Cheng Yue one by one.

Other than that. There was also a large box of various information she sorted out to give to Cheng Yue, but it was not that important, so it was not sent to Lin'an. It records all kinds of movements in most of the capital and surrounding places during this time, down to the point where so-and-so is sick, and so-and-so stumbles a few words with people, which is also Cheng Yue's request.

Various shops such as textile mills, restaurants, and garment shops have been built and opened one after another. The cake shop is also ready, just waiting for Cheng Yue to present the cake to Kublai Khan first, plus the previous cement factory and all kinds of goods transported from the Southern Song Dynasty, the Zhennan Wangfu can be described as a daily profit.

More than 2,000 women were properly accommodated, and more than 300 were left in the palace, and the rest were scattered in various shops. Because there are too many people to use, some are hired extra.

Some of these women have found support, and after remarrying, some of them have stayed in the shop to continue their work, while others have moved into new homes to marry and raise children, and the pain of the past has gradually healed.

After listening to the report, Cheng Yue nodded with satisfaction and smiled: "This is very good, I also have a heart." ”

Cao Ruifang said: "The prince is merciful, and the people in most of the capital are all praising him, and they are all looking forward to the prince's return as soon as possible." ”

Cheng Yue said lightly: "The people are ignorant, the most important thing is not how many lamas I kill, but education, especially women's education." The Great Song Dynasty has already begun to do this, and it is not certain when the Yuan Dynasty will be. If you want to change your fate, you can only rely on knowledge, the compassion of others or the blue sky. ”

Everyone agreed.

Cheng Yue said again: "Let the cake shop make fifty three-layer cakes and a thousand strips of cream bread, and I will send them to the palace tomorrow." The day after tomorrow, the cake shop will officially open, leaving five more cakes and a hundred brioche breads, and I will go to the Prince's Mansion as a guest. ”

Cao Ruifang arched his hand and said: "Yes, tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, early in the morning, my subordinates will deliver it in person." ”

Cheng Yue nodded slightly, and smiled at the third concubine: "In the past few days, you have handed over all the things in your hands to the three brothers, I promised you, are you afraid of taking a boat?" ”

The third concubine was overjoyed, and Sun clapped his hands and said, "Don't be afraid, official, the concubine could swim when she was a child." ”

Yu said: "The concubine has helped her father row a boat since she was a child, and her water nature is fine. ”

Guan Gao said in a firm tone: "Where the officials go, we will follow." The three uncles are shrewd and capable, and they will definitely be able to take care of all kinds of affairs of officials. ”

Cheng Yue said to the three brothers of the Cao family: "Most of the affairs have been handed over to you, don't let me down." ”

The three brothers of the Cao family were overjoyed, and they all got up and saluted: "Obey the orders of the prince." Cheng Yue's words came out, and they really became Cheng Yue's henchmen. During this time, they got up early and worked hard, just to get Cheng Yue's approval. Cheng Yue nodded, and the Cao family was as stable as Mount Tai from now on!

Donar said: "Lord, can you bring your subordinates with you in the Eastern Expedition to Japan?" ”

Cheng Yue said: "Well, okay, you can follow me too, and leave it to their brothers here." ”

Donar shouted happily and said, "What does the prince mean is that his subordinates can return to Lin'an with the prince, right?" ”

Cheng Yue smiled: "Of course, I still have a southern expedition to fight, what are you doing here?" ”

Donar laughed and said, "Lord Wang, your subordinates can be regarded as useful. ”

Cheng Yue smiled and said: "I can't stay in Dadu for a few days, I will leave soon, you pack up as soon as possible and leave at any time." ”

After speaking, the three brothers of the Cao family immediately withdrew, and Dorner also followed them to hand over. Before Cheng Yue got up, Sun Shi threw himself into Cheng Yue's arms with watery eyes.

Cheng Yue was not polite, while kissing her, he picked her up and put her on the bed in the study, and stripped off Sun's clothes in a few clicks, and Guan Gao and Yu also followed with a smile. Seeing this, the two ladies hurriedly left the study.

That night, Cheng Yue and his wife and concubine had a lively banquet, just after eating, Mrs. Luo held a letter in her hand, and came over to report: "Official, someone who claims to be from Huguang Province sent a letter, but the person didn't come in, put down the letter and left, please take a look at the official." In addition, the Goryeo envoy General Park Qiu asked to see him, and the gifts were very generous, did the officials want to see him? ”

Cheng Yue took the letter and said, "Pu Qiu? He is a military general and important minister of Goryeo, so he should have something to say, so please invite him to the study. He unfolded the letter and looked at it a few times, and immediately put it away.

Ying Chun said angrily: "These Koreans, it's really annoying, the officials just arrived in Dadu and ran to talk, can't they let the officials rest?" ”

Cheng Yue laughed and said, "Seeing that I am about to go on the expedition, I will be even busier tomorrow, he is afraid that I will not have time, don't be angry with him." With that, she got up and walked towards the study, and Mrs. Gu hurriedly followed to serve.

Cheng Yue sat down in the study, and Mrs. Gu made tea on the side. I only heard heavy footsteps outside, and in the blink of an eye, Mrs. Luo walked in with a Goryeo general dressed entirely in Mongolian.

Pak Kyu was one of the most relied on and highest-ranking generals of the king of Goryeo, and the official worshiped the general. With a burly figure, broad shoulders and a broad waist, and a dignified appearance, he does look like a good man. But his hair was shaved into the same strange hairstyle as the Mongols, with a bald head in the middle and braids around it, which Cheng Yue couldn't appreciate anyway.

Pu Qiu entered the study and was once again amazed by the beauty of the beauties beside King Zhennam, but he didn't dare to look at it more, so he knelt down and worshipped: "His Majesty King Pu Qiu, the general of Goryeo, see His Royal Highness King Zhennam." ”

Cheng Yue shook his head and said, "Get up, I know you, when did the King of Goryeo send you?" ”

Pu Qiu stood up, bowed down and said: "Back to the prince, I learned that the Great Khan was going to send the prince to lead the army to the east to invade Japan, and the king of the kingdom immediately ordered his subordinates to be envoys to Dadu to greet the prince and explore the way for the prince. The subordinate has just arrived in Dadu for three days, and has been waiting for the prince in the post house. ”

Cheng Yue smiled: "Thank you for the kindness of the King of Goryeo, you wait in the pavilion for a few more days, and we will set off soon." Wang Yu was obviously afraid that Cheng Yue would bring troops to Goryeo and make trouble, but Cheng Yue just didn't want to say anything.

Pu Qiu said respectfully: "Yes, I am ready to listen to the king's call at any time." Well, there is one more thing for the ministers, I don't know whether to talk about it or not. ”

Cheng Yue said: "Say it, you're welcome." ”

Pu Qiu glanced at Mrs. Gu in embarrassment, and Cheng Yue said: "She is the closest person to me, no matter who comes, she is next to her, you don't have to worry." ”

Pu Qiu glanced at Mrs. Gu enviously, turned his head and said, "I don't know if the prince has heard of Jin Fangqing?" ”

Cheng Yue said: "I know, the last time he followed Xin Du to conquer Japan, when the two armies were deadlocked, Xin didn't listen to his advice and insisted on returning to the ship, but he encountered a storm and lost his troops. I heard that he is quite strategic and can be regarded as a good general. (To be continued.) )
